Richard Barnet Quotes

• America, like Britain before her, is now the great defender of the Status Quo.

America's preeminent wealth depends upon keeping things in the underdeveloped world much as they are, allowing change and modernization to proceed only in a controlled, orderly, and nonthreatening way.
